I'm unwilling to go through the process necessary to set an account up 
and become recognised as having good enough information for them.  And 
with regards to this particular topic, I'm unqualified to submit an 
expert opinion on the subject - however, what I recall from my college 
courses, the information that's there is not 100% accurate.  It would 
take me research time and energy (neither of which I have, though I *do* 
have mass ;) ) to sufficiently correct the content.

Um, that's not what I said.  I do in fact use Wikipedia quite a bit, and 
even consider many of the articles to contain sufficient information to 
be authoritative on the subject they're about.

At the same time, people pointing to Wikipedia as the end-all be-all of 
all knowledge and wisdom is equally as ridiculous.
